regards andrew.

Hiya,
You’re not the only one who can’t post pics Andrew I can’t either in fact apart
from my outburst of rubbish typed using only one finger and taking forever I
really am the original computer idiot who has on occasion to call on my 11
years old Granddaughter to sort the thing out for me when I’ve tied the thing
in a knot, yet again, I’m pretty useless really and too old to care.
thanks harry, long retired.
